COVID-19 Pandemic (Coronavirus)

[Orbital-Fetus]

@Orbital-Fetus
But we live in an age, where there's multiple vaccines, which greatly reduce your risks of hospilaztion or death if you catch covid. Not too mention, we have a strong treatment (monoclonal antibodies) to further help, and soon to be other treatments to reduce hospilaztion or death(covid pills).

Why are we wearing masks, and why do we give a shyt if the cases rise? Covid isn't going to go away, and most of us will likely get it at some point. Why should you give a shyt about catching covid, when's there several ways to reduce the potential severities of it?

because it mutates unpredictably.
viruses are ALWAYS one step ahead and this one has already proven itself to be deadly enough to shut down the world.
i have faith in modern medicine but i also realize that covid is still a very real threat to me as an individual and society in general.

why do i wear a mask?
because i don't want to catch covid and i don't want to spread it.
it's that simple.

Cued up the video but the interesting part of the interview happens between 24:07-26:00

Basically talking about the case fatality rate for survivors who get infected the second time around. The actual paper he pulled that from will be available next week.

I'm sure there were some serious confounding factors for the people that survived covid the first time around and died when they contracted it again.


Anyways that shyt was pretty jarring

7%? fukk around and find out

that is a staggering number.
i took a test yesterday because my throat has been feeling funny.
i got tickets to see Spider-Man today and would have been pissed if i came up positive and had to stay home.

Probably not
42% of Illinois COVID-19 deaths last week were fully vaccinated people

A couple things. If everyone was fully vaccinated all the deaths would be from fully vaccinated people. Secondly the CDC is probably going to change fully vaccinated to mean you've also had a booster because some people were fully vaccinated a long time ago.

A vaccine doesn't guarantee people won't die.

They ain’t gonna like this

87% were 65 or older

Black colored phlegm?

You need to get looked at ASAP may not be COVID but coughing up dark phlegm could be blood.


Might just need antibiotics hopefuly breh

i knew once the 3 regular "COVID is over" posters showed up last week, Omicron would shake things up

2 years in, they still at it

walking by a covid testing site with no mask on!

Omicron is overriding our past immunity. I’m triple jabbed but omicron has gotten me. I’m mot taking anymore jabs.

A vaccine isn't a guarantee of anything. It just increases the odds in your favor. Almost sounds like you went into this believing a vaccine granted immunity when it doesn't.

85% of Netherlands adult population is fully vaxed, I don't see the logic here

Especially since Omicron appears to be very mild.
